. FLANGED Application v:filed November To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that l, CARL C. HARRIS, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Grange, in the county of Franklin and e State of Massachusetts, have invented a new lil , and the temperature is raised and lowered,

and there is also considerable bending load.

lt has been customary heretofore to pro.-

f vide a bearing stud projecting, from the end of certain ofthese rolls and to provide a separate ring at a distance from the center driven intolthe end of the roll with the grain to' assist in` holding the Wood together and strengthen the end. Tnsidethis Wedges are'drivenfor keeping the ring in the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.; and

place. y y

The principal object of this invention is to provide ina single element the ring which has beenmentioned, the journal or supportr for the stud and an end piece 'covering the end of the roll, and at the same time to provide the end piece with means for receiving. the lag-screws and Wedges so that they Will have to be driven in at proper distances apart for"the purpose of holdingthe metald parts in position.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear hereinafter.

Reference is to be had to the accompany- -ing drawings, in Which y F ig. 1 .is an end view of a Wooden -roll adapted for use on textile machinery and the like and provided With a,preferred embodiment of this invention but` not showing the shaft or Astud in position; v

Fig. 2 is a diametrical vsectional view on- F ig 3 is a similar View of the entire roll on enlarged scale.

l have shown the invention as applied to an ordinary roll preferably, consisting of a single piece of Wood and rhaving a pair of studs 11 extending'in from opposite ends, although the inventlon is'` capable of application to a roll having a shaft extending all the Way through. The studs are provided with cylindrical bearing surfaces 13 on ROLL CAP.

i which the roll has .to be accurately turned.

For the purpose of accomplishing this li provide-a plate 15 of'sheet steel and form it with an inwardly extending cylindrical flange 16 at the center shaped in the press to justiiit the bearing 13. This flange may Ahave an outer 'beveled edge. The cylindrical portionA 16 also extends inwardly just far enough preferably to come up against the shoulder 17 on the stud and force the stud further Tn this way the plate l5 is' anchored firmly which Will hold the stud `against both sideWise and longitudinal inotion and accurately center the roll at the end, The studs, of course, have bearings projecting beyond the roll on Which the roll i isadapted to rotate.

Atithe circumference of the circular plate 15 a idange 19 is turned down in the same direction as the flange 16. This is a circular flange like the flange 16 and concentric with it and its inner edge is beveled. 'Tn applying this plate to the end of the roll this flange is driven intof the Wood With the grain While the flange 16 simply goes into a bo're in the end of the roll. This ring 19 `constitutes a substitute, for the'ordinary ring Which is usually applied at that point, but it is integral With the/plate 15 and the central bearing ring-16. By beveling the edges, it 'is easier to drive it in, but 4the chief `advantage is that the beveled edge has a tendency to crowd the Wood into the inside of the I ange. lThis increasesthe compression and makes a more rigid and permanent t.

' The plate 15 is provided with a series of rectangular perforationsl 20 arranged tangentially and provided by bending in a tongue lof metal 21 after having cut out the openings are all spaced equally around the circumference they insure that the Wedges Will be inserted at equal distances apart and at the most vedective angles and thus prevent .the driving in of these Wedges too near togetherorftoo farapart. This plateV is also provided with per'forations 23 for receiving and locating the lag screws 24:

with which the lplate is anchored to ,the

t The wedges and lag screws are accurately spaced and the tongues 21 add to the holding power of the whole device.

'Although l have illustrated and described only a single form of the invention lf am aware of the fact that modifications can be made therein by any person skilledI in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claims. hereforc l do not wish to be limited to all the details of construction herein' shown and described, but what l do claim is 1. rilhe combination with a wood roll and its supporting stud at the end, of a circular pressed metal plate on the end of the roll having an inner flange centering'said stud with respect to the roll, and a second integral peripheral flange outside the first driven into the roll for securely holding the plate in position. f L

2. rThe combination witha Wood roll and studs extending from the ends thereof, of

la pressed metal plate located on each end `flange at its of the roll and having a central circular flange projecting inwardly therefrom into the end of the roll and tightly fitting said stud andy provided with an integral circular circumference driven into the end of the roll with the grain for anchoring the'plate and inner flange.

3. The combination with. a solid wood roll, of an end plate'of pressed metal covering and protecting a large part of the end surface of the roll and having an. integral flange projecting therefrom and driven into the end ofthe roll, the inner edge of the flange being beveled inwardly to crowd the wood within the flange.

,4. The combination with a roll consisting of asingle piece of wood and a stud extending from the end thereof, of a pressed steel plate located on the end of the vroll and having a central circular flange projecting vinwardly therefrom into the end of the rolly and fitting said stud and provided with an integral circular flange at its vcircumference extending at right angles and driveninto the end of the roll, said plate having a series of rectangular projections cut out on three sides and the metal bent inwardly at right' angles on the fourth and driven i'nto the end of the roll for receiving Wedges therethrough to bey driven into the roll.

5. As an article of manufacture,

and

L alfixedanysignature. a flanged incassi 'of the roll and provided with a concentrm circular flangeat the center adapted to be receivedin the end of the roll and for rcceiving the stud or shaft of the roll and vhaving a seriesof projections cut out from the body of the plate and bent inwardly at right angles to be driven into the roll and leaving` perforations through the plate through which wedges may be inserted spaced around the roll in accordance with the positions of said projections. I (i. As an article of manufacture, a flanged ca i for application to a wooden roll coinprising a plate of pressed metal having a flange at the end of the roll and provided with a. series of projections cut outfiom the body ofthe plate and bent inwardly at right angles to be driven into the roll and leaving through the 'plate through which wedges may be inserted spaced around the roll in accordance with the positions of said projections, and having perforations for locating and receiving additional securing means.

7. Asv an article off-nianufactiiie, a wood roll having at the end a pressed metal cap perfor-ations circular in shape and provided with a cylin-y drical iangeA at its circumference setting down linto the end of the roll, so that the cap is located on the end surface of the roll, said cap having perforations therethrough with the metal therefrom turned down to form flat flanges at right angles to the plain of the cap and arranged transverse to a radial line to the center of the pcrforations, and Wedges of the same shape as saidperforations driven in to the roll through vthe perforations, ,whereby said wedges are' anchored to the plate and directly bind the sameby the perforations and especially the flanges.

8. The' combination with a solid wood roll having a fiat end, of an end 'plate of pressed metal covering a part of the end of the roll and having an integral flange at its periphery driven into the end of the roll, said plato having a series of perforations with lag screws extending j and into the i'oll to positively hold the plateI in position, and a series of rectangular per forations flangeextending into the roll, andwedges the edge adapted to be driven into through -said perfor-ations through the plate cach having a i driven through the rectangular perforations Y into the roll Aand held by said flanges against displacement.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto CARL c HARRIS.
